A bail bond is an insurance policy purchased to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court. Once the defendant has been sentenced, the trial is over and any bail bonds are generally "exonerated" by the court, meaning that the insurance company is no longer responsible for guaranteeing the defendant's appearance.

Bail can be exonerated by the judge at the very beginning of court proceedings or until the defendant is sentenced. It's at the discretion of the court. Usually bail is exonerated when the defendant is close to a settlement with the prosecutors. Or, when he is no longer a flight risk.
